Liverpool, known for its rich musical heritage, has birthed yet another promising act on the music scene. Dog Sport, is led by guitarist/singer Jack O’Neill, singer/bassist Matthew Walker, drummer Lisa Fawcett, guitarist Calum O’Neill, and keyboardist/guitarist Alexander Rose.

“The light and shade of songs mirror the small pleasures found between long working hours, growing up in uninspiring industrial towns, and living amongst the organized chaos of the city,” the band describes the music.

Dog Sport made its musical debut with “Cylinders,” a track released on the 15th of September 2023. In an era where nostalgia often intertwines with innovation, Dog Sport emerges as a compelling force, offering a fresh take on the familiar. “Cylinders” serves as a captivating introduction to the band’s musical identity, infusing the essence of 80s post-punk with a dash of grunge aggression.

Close your eyes and allow your imagination to transport you to the labyrinthine streets of a gritty urban landscape. The distant hum of heavy machinery becomes your backdrop, and the echoing footsteps of uncertainty resonate off the cold, concrete walls adorned with layers of graffiti. Each bit of paint tells the story of rebellion. This is the imagery that “Cylinders” evokes.

This song radiates unapologetic energy, blending chaos and harmony with avant-garde sophistication. It is a compelling composition defined by raw aggression, enigmatic vocals, a pulsating bassline mirroring urban rhythms, a guitar as an emotive messenger, a keyboard crafting a portal to the unknown, and drums that serve as the heartbeat of rebellion.

Whether you are a fan of 80s post-punk or simply looking for something new and exciting, Dog Sport’s “Cylinders” is a track worth checking out.

If you would like to see Dog Sport live, they will be one of two support acts for System, exclusively at The Salty Dog in Northwich, on the 23rd of September.
